The Magical Power of Love

By love we do not mean anything that can be bought with money. What we mean by true love is this visi­ble and tangi­ble uncon­di­tio­nal affec­tion. Respectful commu­ni­ca­tion. A child who is loved simply for being who they are deve­lops magi­cal strengths. And an aura that reflects this feeling of being loved. People who are loved move through life differently.

Child­ren who are loved in such an intui­tive and emotio­nal way can grow and deve­lop safely and freely. They are like impres­sive soli­taires, like trees that are able to grow freely in every direc­tion. Nothing holds them back. Meeting a child, its perso­na­lity and charac­ter, all its good and not so good quali­ties with love crea­tes true wonders.

Nature has inven­ted some­thing with a mother’s love and the love of ever­yone invol­ved that is incom­pa­ra­ble in its effect. Even though it cannot be touched, measu­red or weig­hed. Yet it exists. It is the most important and essen­tial foun­da­tion for the healthy deve­lo­p­ment of a child. And because we know this to be true, it is part of a …

nanny’s respon­si­bi­lity to help make exactly this possi­ble for a mother and for ever­yone invol­ved, uncon­di­tio­nal love. Love must never fall short. In all its forms.

In hectic, over­loa­ded and noisy times like these, a nanny crea­tes exactly that. She crea­tes space, time, atten­tion and prio­ri­ties so that child­ren can be loved the way child­ren should be loved. Because streng­thening this bond between two people requi­res focus and undi­vi­ded atten­tion. In modern life this is not always easy, but it is possi­ble and achie­va­ble. Fort­u­na­tely, it is not about quan­tity or dura­tion, but about the much more important emotio­nal quality.

It is better to be fully present for a short moment than to spend a longer period toge­ther while being absent. To be authen­tic, sincere, close and genuine. We are convin­ced that love is what turns little people into good and strong adults. And the role of a nanny is to make exactly this possi­ble, the love between mother and child, father and child, siblings and ever­yone invol­ved. Or as a famous musi­cian once said so fittingly: Let love rule.
